SHIM DEM BITCHES! i had regrind stockers from a very reputable shop and i had to shim like a mofo! .060 and higher in some places. the only /best way to do it is to drop your lash adj. in with the cam in place and measure the gap with a feeler gauge. then add .015 to that for the pre-load thats supposed to be there and shim accodingly. i had fun with this a long time ago and can help ya out if needed. just holler
